Our world has been obliterated. She has been specifically assigned to save the new world because her roots are only a memory. Her job is to get it done and pass it on. New world is interspersed with old world damage. 19-Feb-2018

Much-loved sister trio HAIM were the musical guests on last night's SNL, the band's first network TV performance since announcing their forthcoming second LP Something to Tell You. They killed it, playing the already-released "Want You Back" and one brand new, unreleased track, "Little of Your Love."

For a music festival that aims to be something different, Day for Night hosting the U.S. debut of Björk Digital fits the mission. It is, however, a lot to ask of a music festival audience.

The entire virtual reality portion takes 80 minutes, and only groups of 25 are admitted at a time. For those who didn't get to register for an assigned time, of which there are many according to comments on the festival's social media accounts, the wait alone was restrictive. Katheryn Mitchell was in line by 2:30 p.m. At 7:30 p.m. she was still in line.

"We wanted to see Lower Dens at 5. We wanted to see Odesza, but that's kind of over," she said. "But we thought this was an experience we wouldn't be able to have in any other environment so it's worth it."

In introducing Madonna on Friday at Billboard's Women in Music 2016 event, where she was named Woman of the Year, out journalist Anderson Cooper said that her music had showed him a way forward as a gay teen.

“Madonna is Billboard's Woman of the Year, but as far as I'm concerned in terms of music and impact and culture, she's been the woman of the year every year since she released her first single Everybody in 1982,” Cooper said.

Calling Madonna “revolutionary,” Cooper talked about what her music meant to him “as a gay teenager growing up.”

“Her music and outspokenness showed me as a teenager a way forward. Through her music, she told me and millions of teenagers – gay and straight – that we are not alone, we are connected to each other,” he said.
